volvo: "puts adaptiv crusecontroll sensor for saftey reasons in their trucks to protec drivers from accidents. rusty: "ahh, this beeping sound drives me crazy, i plug the saftey sensor out. Volvo: 😐
@@kunar69 Wow it sucks, is this the only reason why you would like to risk somebodys life? Volvo trucks in Europa have system sinca a long time and it safe so many life's. And there are people too, saying its sucks but they DON'T plug it off.
Why would you want to disconnect safety features? Trucking firms in the UK would kick you out the door if you touch anything to do with safety features and try and disable them.
The versions of the "safety" features put on the US trucks simply just don't work as they're advertised (partially due to the higher speed of trucks in the US, but that's a whole other topic not to get into), not to forget the fact that the majority of what those systems do can be achieved by driving with actual care, such as leaving a reasonable amount of distance behind vehicles and paying attention to your driving. They're best for heavy traffic and areas with suddenly stopping traffic, outside of that they're just a nag. You can see in this video, and a lot of his videos, he's driving basically in the middle of nowhere most of the time. Main reason companies put those systems on their trucks is because 1. Liability and 2. It generally comes as part of a "safety" package which increases the resale value of the truck
@@fredmercury1314 That's great, but the "safety" package you'll get for most trucks won't include blindspot monitoring, or when its still on the truck the drivers still disable it because of the number of false positives they give. And the trailer isn't going to have absolutely any safety equipment besides ABS, and in some rare cases, tire monitoring. Most trailers in the US don't even have reverse lights. And that doesn't change that a lot of the trucks on the road today are either the most basic models, or pre-2008. It comes down to drivers either forgetting something, or not driving with care. Both from trucks and cars. These accidents don't happen because of the blindspots, they happen because people generally don't know about the blindspots, or the fact that it's not particularly safe to have a massive vehicle next to something 1/10th it's size.
I'd like a visual blind side aid like the mirror having a LED that blinks when I activate the signal if it detects a car. I never drove a new volvo but on Freghts, the auto brake system activated on me multiple times hard when it did not have a reason to, that thing can die in a fire.
I'm in a base model 2019 VNL760 and I love it. I've been in freightliners, KWs, and internationals and the volvo has been the best quality of life, ride, parts longevity, you name it.
Maybe they should make a safety system that is not so annoying. Volvo used to make good trucks but after driving this for 2 plus years now I can say I now hate Volvo trucks.
A "globetrotter" is someone who's constantly traveling the world. In Europe, "Globetrotter" is the name Volvo uses for the sleeper cabs on the FH series cabovers, with basic "Globetrotter" being the normal sleeper, "Globetrotter XL" being the high roof sleeper, and "Globetrotter XXL" being the new extended high roof sleeper cab. The Volvo USA marketing department brought the name over to use as a trim level for their two biggest models - on the 760 cab, it's just Globetrotter, and on the 860 it's "Globetrotter XL" to denote that the 860 is bigger than the 760. There is no "Globetrotter XXL" in the US.
The first Globetrotter cab was launched in 1980 on the F10 and F12 series, and I believe it was the first regular factory-built high roof sleeper, possibly in the world. The first UK supplied F12 Globetrotter was sold in early 1980. This picture is of one from 1986: scontent-lcy1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/80264335_3582577298420848_8341157042400002048_o.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=da1649&efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&_nc_ohc=EKJdUX2VwJIAX_vLuW8&_nc_ht=scontent-lcy1-1.xx&tp=14&oh=ccf6f9e0dbfc0c7df4fb99652625bb92&oe=6079D5D9
You should be able to disable all those noises in the menu.. should not need to disconnect components. Due to safety reasons you should not disconnect the radar
Also opens up the driver (and the company) to massive liability issues if he ends up in an accident and it can be proven it could have prevented if he hadn't tampered with it.
@@KA-om9oz volvo drivers are usually the most sensible ones and they comply with the rules. But if speeding is someone's thing, that's okay too, as long as that mf doesn't cause any damage to my volvo🙂🙂
I greet you from Romania, I want to tell you that I really like what you do and I want to go to the USA in a while to be a truck driver, you are a source of motivation for me 🇺🇲-🇷🇴
Now THAT is a truck!!! I personally think the Volvo is the MUCH nicer truck!!! Especially in the looks department cause i don't like the all chrome and in your face grille from the WS....... And nice previeuw from the truck all stickered up on those last seconds!! 😁😁👍👍
disconnect the radar is a sign of irresponsibility as noticed you're always on the left lane, another thing is the blind spot you mentioned you're a driver!!! when they invented these features they did it for a reason Mr. professional driver
I have been driving in Australia and I gotta say that American truck stops are a million times better than ours. Bigger, cleaner, more variety in food and shopping. Our bathrooms are third world nasty. Plus our prime mover sleepers are significantly smaller as b doubles are the main for OTR . Makes me wish I could drive in the USA
Its the matter or preferences. Some people hate the ACC, some people don't. Me meanwhile love to have ACC. Its a handful during congestion. Yeah, still u have to deal with the all beeping but hey, safety systems came for a reason.
I hope you realize that all those beeps from the radar system you unhooked mean you are simply following too close! Keep behind others at 4 to 5 seconds and it will never go off. I've used one for years and it seldom goes off.
Dude, I wouldn't disconnect the radar, if something happens and you rear-end a truck or a car or whatever on the highway, you could possibly be held liable
Greetings from Sweden, congrats Rusty, you almost had me there when you said you didn’t get a Volvo. 😁 Keep up the good work, I follow every episode of you and your trips.
Wow! It’s about time man. Congratulations! Sorry I haven’t been keeping up on tour awesome videos lately, got a new pup at home. I’ll need to catch up this week.
You need to have right combination of transmission and rear end gear ratios, you guys talk a lot but mostly air!!! 400 hp engine can move any truck at 150 mph with right drivetrain. You can't say truck A is faster than truck B
The in-cab air hose is great for blowing dirt around. Unfortunately, a percentage of that dirt is just moved from the floor to other surfaces, like the dash.
The guy I drive for is in love with Volvos. So he buys Volvos. Personally, I prefer Paccar...as in Kenworth or Peterbilt. Volvos are said to have longer springs for the steer axle and that is why they are said to ride better. Right now, I am driving a 670 with a 450 Cummins ISX and some sort of automatic transmission. It is set up for economy and therefore, shifts at 1500 rpm when starting from a dead stop. It may shift four or five times before you get through an intersection and it takes forever..!! In fact, if you are first in line when the light turns green, it may change again before you get through the intersection. I'll take a stick any day over this automatic...preferably a 13-speed. If I hauled heavy, an 18-speed would be useful, but for me, the 13 with the ability to drop half gears on a pull works best. I can see that you are glad to get away from that Freightliner/Western Star 5700...they are almost as ugly as an International Lonestar. Maybe a 760 or 870 (or whatever the model numbers are) Volvo would be better, but the 670 is a bit cramped for my liking... I drove a 579 Pete with a deleted 455 MX with a 13-speed and it pulled like it was 500 plus. And the ride was darned good as well. And those damned distance alarms/lane departure warning things are turning an entire generation of truckers into steering wheel holders. You can pull the fuse, relocate your license plate, or take the cover off and aim the damned thing up into the air so it quits making noise, whatever you can get away with. I managed to log over 4 million accident-free miles without all that electronic shit so I just ignore it when it goes off. Or turn the stereo up.
Yes!!! Big congrats on getting your new Volvo Rusty! Take real good care of her. Have you checked your company vehicle insurance policy regarding disconnecting the radar system? If you accidentally rear end someone will the insurance void the claim because you tampered with the truck? I don't like these systems any more than you do but you gotta be real careful, especially in good old litigious US of A!
Your the true professional trucker! Fixing the flat on the trailer instead of dumping it on the next guy and screwing him up! Cannot tell you how many times I picked up broken trailers and had to waste time to get them fixed! Tires, lights, brakes.
So I’m typing this mid video, with those Volvos the reason it has 4 cushions is because it can convert to a dining area the middle props up into a table and the 4 cushions turn into a bench like seat
Company should make you plug that back in !!! It's for your safety as well as others ...deal with it ....I'd fire you for doing that to my new truck after 1 warning !!!!
N O Y B The only reason this garbage ever got put in class 8 trucks was to babysit seatmeat drivers who need a babysitter to drive the truck while they text and watch movies. “ Drivers” who depend on them or think they need them to safely drive have no business driving a truck. Real professionals have no need for them PERIOD.
If they didn't know about it they know now. Deactivating safety features and endangering their brand new truck, the load and the lives of other drivers because they don't like the beeping. What a cry baby. Oh and when they take it into Volvo for whatever reason they always plug the truck in. The ECU records all the faults, when they happen, how long etc. Good way to void your warranty lol all because of a beeping.
Shit, my company had the radar systems disconnected on all their Volvos. We just got a 579 Peterbilt and they wanted my input on a few things and went ahead and had the Pete reprogrammed.
I put 500k on a 2013 Volvo before the company traded it in. I left clawmarks down the side of the truck when they drug me out of it and stuffed my ass in a brand new Kenworth. The KW is so much smaller, I had to put in for hometime to get rid of stuff. I can't complain about a brand new KW but I cook in my truck and try to exercise so the extra space in the Volvo was awesome. It was also super dependable, great ride with super singles and the 12 speed I-drive is the best automatic I've ever driven by far.
Hey Rusty! CONGRATS on getting your Brand-New VNL 860!! The Steering Control you were talking about is called ‘Volvo Dynamic Steering’, but the Name isn’t all that important of course... it just means that steering is gonna be a lot less tiring for you on those LONG trips across the USA! That steering feature is also on our UK & European Volvo Trucks too & we get the Globetrotters as well! Stay safe out there and I look forward to your review on your new truck!
Imagine the look on Crusty's face if he gets into an accident and while in court the other guys lawyer plays RUclips video of Crusty bragging about disabling safety equipment on his company truck. Imagine the look on the company owners face if that happened. The cruise control radar is annoying, but bragging about disabling it online is asking for trouble.
Does Volvo still have Globetrotter name, that is beautiful old name? Globetrotter means world traveller so nice name for a truck :) Thank you for the video ! I have seen Globetrotters here in Finland all my life, I like F12 most. Circulating the world = Globetrotter :D
Wow Rusty, brilliant... I'm so happy you have the Volvo at last... Two things, your company certainly likes you, hence the new truck and secondly, we were so concerned that you were giving up trucking, as you mentioned once or twice before..... We are are a few people here in South Africa that love your videos... One of the reasons, other than the way present it, is where you have your camera, because we can also see traffic around you... Brilliant.. Thank you for the very good show.
@Sasha Braus It´s funny to see that Volvo sells 2021 made trucks with an, Volvo FH series dashboard, which was launched in1993. The "new" (European) FH series which was released in 2014 is already getting, not old, but well worn. ruclips.net/video/jieVDAw4QP4/видео.html 1993: ruclips.net/video/PxKEoTJQTVo/видео.html And just to inform you why we do not have nose built and apartment sized sleepers on our trucks. It´s all about strict total length regulations. I´m from Sweden and our maximum total length is 25,25 meters (about 82 feet) and maximum total weight is 64 tonnes (about 141 000 lb). This would normally have to be distributed on, at least, 7 axles. The latter is simplified because there are other uncountable regulations (like axle distances and so on...) to follow before your combination will comply to the weight allowance. For this simple reason we cannot have these beautiful trucks like the VNL860.
he just voided the warranty on the sensor so when it gets corrosion and messes up the company he drives for will have to pay 2-3 thousand for another one. if he worked for the company i do he would be in trouble for that, companies like there money and if you cost them money they dont need to spend then they wont keep you long. i like his videos but man does he like to change things on his truck
@@bergerk20 That truck belongs to either his company, or it's leased. And God for bid if he has an accident, he and his company could be in a whole lot or trouble!!!
Hi rusty Your bottom bed is a table and bench seat set up, your 4 peace mattress is the cushions for the benches, so it is possible to have the top bunk bed down and have the table set up, so you can have a place to sleep with a place to sit down and eat in comfort. Volvo do make nice truck's, globetrotter is largest cabs and sleeper, it comes from when they had European cab over truck's going to countries from, UK, Sweden, Germany, etc to China, the Arab States, Africa by road, so volvo made the super size cab overs and called them the globetrotter for the trucker who travels the world by road. Loving the video's rusty and stay safe, keep the rubber side down and the shinny side up and we will see you on the back haule brother. Philip Burrows from St Helens, Merseyside, England 🏴 UK 🇬🇧
@@philipburrows yes of course thank you for asking I hope we can get to know each other and can you suggest a way we can talk off here if you don’t mind
You should not disconnect the volvo adaptive cruise because that thing will save your life once... trust me it has saved me in a volvo FH the european volvo truck
11:48 Lol! Missipissi, got to laugh because and always locked in my head from elementary school. The spelling is easy for me Mississippi is the correct way. And no I'm not one of those that spell checks every word from people I had to make the comment cause it brought back a memory from school and I'm 54yrs old. Rusty love the channel and been following you for a while. Any update on the Volvo rebuild - find a cab?? Be safe brother!!
This truck looks awesome! Every new truck has those sensors so I guess you can never find the perfect truck since you hate them so much but maybe you will get used to them after a while :)
You should get satellite system on this! Dish makes a portable satellite system called the dish hopper. Much love from overseas man!!! Hope you enjoy your new globetrotter man!
Hey Rusty you should really watch "Luke C in a HGV" and watch the difference between UK Hauling and USA Hauling. You will find it interesting. He is a tramper so does layover work.
Ok, now we have a recipe: make a video where you say you are probably going to leave trucking and your company will give a brandnew 860 soon just to hold you. Thanks buddy
You just put yourself and your company at risk by disconnecting that sensor. If you have a major accident and they see it's unhooked, they'll go after you for that and you recorded it. Stuff like that you don't broadcast.
Adaptive cruise/braking with radar can be dangerous too. I was given a spare truck once while mine was in shop and this one kept panic braking going under random overpasses thinking there was an object in the road. Aside from being stressful wondering which bridge would trigger it next, I had a LOT of pissed off drivers thinking I was brake checking them behind me, and I couldnt help think it was suicidal if it was icy. Im an old timer and do NOT appreciate some of the nannies designed to help. I have 30 years safe driving and did it without help. I do believe thats the best kind of driving, so I understand Rustys annoyance.
@@Cherokeelion 40 years in the business. no accidents, no speeding tickets, no nothing. I don't like the new stuff either, but when you start disconnecting stuff off trucks that are there for a reason you open yourself up to Major lawsuits. My first truck was a 1965 b61 Mack with a quadruplex twin stick. Trucking used to be awesome, now it sucks. too many rules and regulations
@@arrowkart4j I would think disconnecting anything legally required would be legal jeopardy, but so far adaptive cruise is an option. It probably helps insurance discounts along with cameras. I like the old Macks! I drove an R model for a while, but my first truck wsr a 79 kw w900a with no power steering, air windows and air wipers. If you play an audio of the wipers Id know immediately what it is. Haha

You can inactivate the adaptive cruise control in the settings, that way you can keep all the safety systems running

Why would you want to disconnect safety features? Trucking firms in the UK would kick you out the door if you touch anything to do with safety features and try and disable them.

Yes!!! Big congrats on getting your new Volvo Rusty! Take real good care of her. Have you checked your company vehicle insurance policy regarding disconnecting the radar system? If you accidentally rear end someone will the insurance void the claim because you tampered with the truck? I don't like these systems any more than you do but you gotta be real careful, especially in good old litigious US of A!
I'm just thinking that mr rusty should only drive oldschool truck as clearly he's unable to adapt to the new safety techs in his new truck....
@@azz404607 👍👍, he also likes the left lane for the most part( with a very fresh truck)
Your the true professional trucker! Fixing the flat on the trailer instead of dumping it on the next guy and screwing him up! Cannot tell you how many times I picked up broken trailers and had to waste time to get them fixed! Tires, lights, brakes.
So I’m typing this mid video, with those Volvos the reason it has 4 cushions is because it can convert to a dining area the middle props up into a table and the 4 cushions turn into a bench like seat
dro good to see just read the manual the beep and flashing light are there to help you it the same VNL 860XXL for your safety
Company should make you plug that back in !!! It's for your safety as well as others ...deal with it ....I'd fire you for doing that to my new truck after 1 warning !!!!
N O Y B The only reason this garbage ever got put in class 8 trucks was to babysit seatmeat drivers who need a babysitter to drive the truck while they text and watch movies. “ Drivers” who depend on them or think they need them to safely drive have no business driving a truck. Real professionals have no need for them PERIOD.
Guys, I guess we will never see the Volvo rebuild series ever again 😥😪
Na, we probably will. Probably just trina make some bread first and work on other stuff
Oh you will,,. Soon
@@TheRustyCracker You got a new volvo from the company, Dam they must love you!! Plus Rusty please don't break this one lol.
@@TheRustyCracker nice truck 👍
Does your company have any issues with you disconnecting any of the mentioned features on your truck?
If they didn't know about it they know now. Deactivating safety features and endangering their brand new truck, the load and the lives of other drivers because they don't like the beeping. What a cry baby.
Oh and when they take it into Volvo for whatever reason they always plug the truck in. The ECU records all the faults, when they happen, how long etc. Good way to void your warranty lol all because of a beeping.
@@DIRF04 beeping doesn’t let you concentrate so if your tired, that’s a accident.
@@Zoneeee13 beeping when tired keeps you awake and alert
@@Zoneeee13 If you’re sleepy enough that a beeping breaks your concentration, pull over and take a break.
Shit, my company had the radar systems disconnected on all their Volvos. We just got a 579 Peterbilt and they wanted my input on a few things and went ahead and had the Pete reprogrammed.
I put 500k on a 2013 Volvo before the company traded it in. I left clawmarks down the side of the truck when they drug me out of it and stuffed my ass in a brand new Kenworth.
The KW is so much smaller, I had to put in for hometime to get rid of stuff.
I can't complain about a brand new KW but I cook in my truck and try to exercise so the extra space in the Volvo was awesome.
It was also super dependable, great ride with super singles and the 12 speed I-drive is the best automatic I've ever driven by far.
Hey Rusty! CONGRATS on getting your Brand-New VNL 860!! The Steering Control you were talking about is called ‘Volvo Dynamic Steering’, but the Name isn’t all that important of course... it just means that steering is gonna be a lot less tiring for you on those LONG trips across the USA! That steering feature is also on our UK & European Volvo Trucks too & we get the Globetrotters as well! Stay safe out there and I look forward to your review on your new truck!
If I had an 860 with governored 75 mph, I'd be a happy camper
Your Volvo is going to look sick with those lights.
man alot of people saying that your old truck looks bad, for me it looks more badass than the new one
Volvo is awesome..... hope you love it as much as I love mine...
I drive a Western Star and I do agree about the one cupholder situation. I would love one of those 2Cups.
1:04 ngl he had us in the first half
Right tho 😂
Comparing cascadia to skateboard 100% accurate lol
Imagine the look on Crusty's face if he gets into an accident and while in court the other guys lawyer plays RUclips video of Crusty bragging about disabling safety equipment on his company truck. Imagine the look on the company owners face if that happened. The cruise control radar is annoying, but bragging about disabling it online is asking for trouble.
See that crash in Dallas he got backed up at? All companies are going to it...lowers insurance rates.
My thoughts exactly
Man if my company ever raises our trucks over 65mph I’ll cry with joy. 770 in a day would be amazing
Congratulations Rusty. 😍 I love Volvo Trucks and I like Volvo FH 16 Globetrotter 750 (cab-over truck ). Love from India
Also from India
I VERY much need and want one of the 2cups things for my truck that is cool. And your new truck is bad ass. Congrats bro
@Hello Robert how are you doing
Does Volvo still have Globetrotter name, that is beautiful old name? Globetrotter means world traveller so nice name for a truck :) Thank you for the video ! I have seen Globetrotters here in Finland all my life, I like F12 most. Circulating the world = Globetrotter :D
@Hello Pentti how are you doing
Congrats for your new toy
Sounds like the company you work for is pretty nice.
Wow Rusty, brilliant... I'm so happy you have the Volvo at last... Two things, your company certainly likes you, hence the new truck and secondly, we were so concerned that you were giving up trucking, as you mentioned once or twice before..... We are are a few people here in South Africa that love your videos... One of the reasons, other than the way present it, is where you have your camera, because we can also see traffic around you... Brilliant.. Thank you for the very good show.
lets goo! hopefully this beauty is a good one and gives you the best ride as you deserve Rusty! Deuces!
What a nice truck the other I watch a documentary of the factory assembling these.
I think globetrotter just means, that you are travlling around the world;)
Scooby Doo is big in Sweden and the Harlem Globetrotters have solved more than one mystery on that show. Hence Globetrotter.
Man that is great your new truck came in! Be safe!

Great work rusty. Good thing happen to people who wait nice rig. Sounds a lot quieter as well. Cheers mate from Australia
Enjoy, drive safe. Good for you on saving the company some money, it all adds up, hope the company appreciates it.😊
@Hello James how are you doing
I would love to have a 2 cups!!!
@Hello Derek how are you doing
Im waiting on my 860 longest days of my life
I think rusty should prank her company that the volvo broke down lol
@Sasha Braus It´s funny to see that Volvo sells 2021 made trucks with an, Volvo FH series dashboard, which was launched in1993.
The "new" (European) FH series which was released in 2014 is already getting, not old, but well worn.

And just to inform you why we do not have nose built and apartment sized sleepers on our trucks.
It´s all about strict total length regulations.
I´m from Sweden and our maximum total length is 25,25 meters (about 82 feet) and maximum total weight is 64 tonnes (about 141 000 lb).
This would normally have to be distributed on, at least, 7 axles.
The latter is simplified because there are other uncountable regulations (like axle distances and so on...) to follow before your combination will comply to the weight allowance.
For this simple reason we cannot have these beautiful trucks like the VNL860.
I don't understand - a trucker who is not familiar with the Globetrotter brand. It is iconic!
I don't know, but you probably just voided out the warranty on that brand new truck by disconnecting that safety thing!!!
he just voided the warranty on the sensor so when it gets corrosion and messes up the company he drives for will have to pay 2-3 thousand for another one. if he worked for the company i do he would be in trouble for that, companies like there money and if you cost them money they dont need to spend then they wont keep you long. i like his videos but man does he like to change things on his truck
@@bergerk20 That truck belongs to either his company, or it's leased. And God for bid if he has an accident, he and his company could be in a whole lot or trouble!!!
@@stevepackard8542 yep and he filmed it so it would be on him
@@bergerk20 It would be more on the company, since they carry the insurance!
@@stevepackard8542 i meant he would be fired or sued for removing or unplugging it
on road truck doing pti : check everything and make everything is GUCCI
me at terminal port : "tank is full , im good to go"
Sweet new ride. Those 2cups are awesome. Would love one.
@Hello how are you doing
Hi rusty
Your bottom bed is a table and bench seat set up, your 4 peace mattress is the cushions for the benches, so it is possible to have the top bunk bed down and have the table set up, so you can have a place to sleep with a place to sit down and eat in comfort.
Volvo do make nice truck's, globetrotter is largest cabs and sleeper, it comes from when they had European cab over truck's going to countries from, UK, Sweden, Germany, etc to China, the Arab States, Africa by road, so volvo made the super size cab overs and called them the globetrotter for the trucker who travels the world by road.
Loving the video's rusty and stay safe, keep the rubber side down and the shinny side up and we will see you on the back haule brother.

Some say he’s still rebuilding a Volvo.
thats the way i found him :)
You should not disconnect the volvo adaptive cruise because that thing will save your life once... trust me it has saved me in a volvo FH the european volvo truck
I’ll take one of those cup holder things.
Take a look in the fuse panel. Fuse 63 & 81 in the Cascadia
I love my volvo. It's like driving a Cadillac lol. Love the videos and be safe out there
@Hello Frank how are you doing
11:48 Lol! Missipissi, got to laugh because and always locked in my head from elementary school. The spelling is easy for me Mississippi is the correct way. And no I'm not one of those that spell checks every word from people I had to make the comment cause it brought back a memory from school and I'm 54yrs old. Rusty love the channel and been following you for a while. Any update on the Volvo rebuild - find a cab?? Be safe brother!!
10:43 LOL! I read "Probably assembled in the USA"
Like...hmmm, thats wierd xD
Volvo's are built in Dublin, Va, about 25 miles from me.
Isn't Dollar Tree also got their HQ there too
@@daewooparts Chesapeake, Va
This truck looks awesome! Every new truck has those sensors so I guess you can never find the perfect truck since you hate them so much but maybe you will get used to them after a while :)
@17:10 looks like that guy also disconnected that front radar ;-)
Nice Volvo man !!
I'd love one of those 2Cups, and man that Volvo woooweee
Bony m
Nice truck R.C. Stay safe and enjoy.
First time I watched your videos. Thumbs Up BEAUTIFUL VOLVO!!!! Stay well Frankie L.I.
@Hello Frank how are you doing
Yes the vnl is the best truck on the road right now in America in my opinion
Finally!!!!
You should get satellite system on this! Dish makes a portable satellite system called the dish hopper. Much love from overseas man!!! Hope you enjoy your new globetrotter man!
Hey Rusty you should really watch "Luke C in a HGV" and watch the difference between UK Hauling and USA Hauling. You will find it interesting. He is a tramper so does layover work.
Ok, now we have a recipe: make a video where you say you are probably going to leave trucking and your company will give a brandnew 860 soon just to hold you. Thanks buddy
You just put yourself and your company at risk by disconnecting that sensor. If you have a major accident and they see it's unhooked, they'll go after you for that and you recorded it. Stuff like that you don't broadcast.
So true and also very bad solution to getting rid of an annoyance.
Adaptive cruise/braking with radar can be dangerous too. I was given a spare truck once while mine was in shop and this one kept panic braking going under random overpasses thinking there was an object in the road. Aside from being stressful wondering which bridge would trigger it next, I had a LOT of pissed off drivers thinking I was brake checking them behind me, and I couldnt help think it was suicidal if it was icy. Im an old timer and do NOT appreciate some of the nannies designed to help. I have 30 years safe driving and did it without help. I do believe thats the best kind of driving, so I understand Rustys annoyance.
@@Cherokeelion 40 years in the business. no accidents, no speeding tickets, no nothing. I don't like the new stuff either, but when you start disconnecting stuff off trucks that are there for a reason you open yourself up to Major lawsuits. My first truck was a 1965 b61 Mack with a quadruplex twin stick. Trucking used to be awesome, now it sucks. too many rules and regulations
@@arrowkart4j I would think disconnecting anything legally required would be legal jeopardy, but so far adaptive cruise is an option. It probably helps insurance discounts along with cameras. I like the old Macks! I drove an R model for a while, but my first truck wsr a 79 kw w900a with no power steering, air windows and air wipers. If you play an audio of the wipers Id know immediately what it is. Haha
In the Army I had a First sergeant with the last name Kilgore. Dude stacked a lot of bodies in his day. He was a Scary dude.
I feel like company mgmt watches your videos Rusty :)
Bing bong bing bongs in a truck are annoyances. In airplanes are life savers
Ladies and gentlemen..
He's back 🤣👍
I've been waiting for a video!
Perfect video. I love the driving scenery, your commentary and the choice on music. That Volve looks perfect.
@Hello PB how are you doing
another 10 years and u rebuild your own volvo
Lol
Woow love it! Volvo are getting better day by day💙
